• German DAX futures -0.6%
  • UK FTSE futures -0.4%

This mirrors the mood in US futures as well as carrying over the negative tone from Asia. The Nikkei closed down by 1.6% and S&P 500 futures are now down 0.6% on the day as tech shares continue to lag. Nasdaq futures are down 0.8% currently. Concerns surrounding the AI bubble continue to permeate and that is keeping market players on their toes ahead of Christmas to year-end lull next week.
